A new aggressive strain of the HIV virus has been discovered in West Africa, and researchers say the recombinant virus can progress from infection to illness (AIDS) in just about five years.

BIOGRAPHY OF MICROSURGEON JOHAN VAN DONGEN

If the achievement of man is measured by truth, Johan Van Dongen would have been one of the most famous scientists or microsurgeons in the world, but because we live in a society whereby politicians drink and eat with a brood of vipers, Dongen is now an enemy.

Professor Johan Van Dongen is a Dutch microsurgeon, who found out after forty years of research that Aids and Ebola were man-made diseases or laboratory engineered as bio-weapons and tested on Africans to depopulate the continent.

This is a secret to the common man on the street but top scientists, World Health Organization, Center for Diseases Control, world leaders, politicians and countries like America, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France etc, that played a role in those medical crimes knew about it.

The Dutch Government wasn’t expecting Dongen to publish his findings as books because, for decades, it has been the task of world leaders to cover up those heinous medical crimes. Then aftermath of revealing the truth about the diseases, Dongen was dismissed as a lecturer at the University of Maastricht, Holland.

THE BIRTH AND LIFE OF JOHAN VAN DONGEN

Microsurgeon and scientist Johan Van Dongen

Johan van Dongen was born on May 15, 1946, to a very poor family in the southern part of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, during one of the coldest days in that time of the year. His father was a salesman who deals in second-hand clothes.

After the destruction of Rotterdam during the Second World War, his father returned home from Germany after nine months. Like many sons, Johan didn’t agree with his father, because he often abused and hit his mother and all his children. Eventually, he became an alcoholic after the war.

At the age of four, Johan who couldn’t cope with the regime and domination faced many obstacles at school. Within no time after several severe incidents, the authorities threw him out of school with the message: “We will see him back at the age of six.”

At secondary school, Johan enjoyed his education due to a good female teacher teaching him. The problems started in the third grade with a new teacher. This teacher couldn’t cope with Johan’s intelligence and probing manners. Within some few months, he was dismissed from school for the second time. Yet still, he managed to pass all his exams to the next grades.

Due to the poorness of Johan’s family, the Protestant Pastor paid his family a visit and told his parents that the family had to baptize him to get rid of the poverty. So at the age of seven Johan was baptized likeJohn the Baptist baptizing Jesus, with the holy words from the pastor: “Johan is a boy with a message and vision but the only thing in his mind is food.”

Johan managed to stay at work for six months in a row, and during the strongest winter ever since, he started a new job as a bicycle boy and worked for two years in poultry shop. In 1963 – he started another work in butchery shop at the Northern Island of Rotterdam and after three years, he received his butcher’s certificate.

1964 – Skilled and experienced Johan was appointed as a chief in charge of a poultry annex butchery shop for four years at the age of seventeen. The skills at the latter place impressed his boss, who advised him to become a surgeon. At the peak of his career, something terrible happened to Johan. His father disappeared without showing up again.

Because of that event, Johan as the elder son became head of the family, taking care of
six younger brothers and a twenty-year-old physically disabled brother. Under this heavy load, Johan worked as a butcher at the poultry.

In 1969 – At the age of twenty-three Johan was appointed as a laboratory animal keeper at the Department of General Surgery in the basements of the Dijkzigt Hospital in Rotterdam, part of the Erasmus University. Because of his experience with dead animals and as a butcher he knew a lot about the anatomy of animals.

1969 – 1976 – During a period of six years Johan studied the professions of: Laboratory Animal Keeper and Animal Technology at the University of Leiden The Netherlands and graduated in 1973. From May 1972 till 1976 – Johan studied Experimental Microsurgery at the Erasmus University Rotterdam the Netherlands and graduated in May 1976.

In 1972, during a weekly laboratory meeting, Johan van Dongen heard one of his professors’ saying: “Cytomegalovirus CMV. That dangerous virus could be a cross between flu and a herpes virus, built into a bacterium and then it looks like protozoa.”

The words of Professor Dr. D.L. Westbroek, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Netherlands, never left Johan, because, during his forty-two years of investigation into the origin of Ebola and AIDS-causing viruses, he met the same conclusion. Johan discovered that those microorganisms were tested predominantly on black people in concentration camps and Africa.
In a monomaniac circumstance, Johan investigated the role of the medical, pharmacological and military presence of foreign countries in Africa and what they were doing in their bio-warfare plants in the African Jungle and why several outbreaks of horrific diseases took place.

Johan’s knowledge about medical crimes in Africa was a turning point in his career. He started to fight and went to court six times which lasted for five years. After his dismissal, according to the judge because of inconsistent mood, Johan decided to give his life for the cause of Africa. He didn’t only lost his job and house but also all his money for paying his lawsuits which brought him into relative poverty.

“I am satisfied that I fought a good battle, a battle of truth. My conscience is clear and never regrets of what I went through. I feel very sorry for those who committed the crimes, covered it up and subjected me to such an ordeal. If there is God, then may God have mercy upon their souls.”

BIOGRAPHY OF WRITER AND JOURNALIST JOEL SAVAGE

Joel Savage is an African-Belgian journalist living and working in Antwerp since the year 2000. He was the first African journalist to enter into the notorious Stuivenberg Hospital in Antwerp to investigate the high abnormal death of Africans at the hospital.

It was a period Africans living in Antwerp were scared to visit the hospital because patients with a common leg injury, don’t come back alive after consultation. There was something sinister going on of which the African community believe that Africans were deliberately killed to satisfy the demand of people in the queue for an organ transplant.

What alerted Joel’s consciousness to accept the challenge of doing the investigation is, he witnessed a demonstration of Albanians on the same issue because an Albanian mysteriously lost his life at the same hospital.

The other fact is historical. King Leopold II of Belgium maimed and killed over 10 million Africans, including women and children, yet Belgium named streets after him, above all built his statue as an honor. Which person in his right mind will do such a thing when there is no statue of Adolf Hitler for killing six million Jews?

The whole world witnessed the brutal murder of Patrice Lumumba in Congo, by Belgium, the fact that they lost the country as a colony through independence. Don’t forget about the Rwanda genocide which Belgium was responsible. (You can read about this in the book called ‘The Shadow Of The Sun’ by Polish writer and journalist Ryzard Kapucinski.) With such evidence revealing that Belgium doesn’t value the life of an African, I believed the story of the Africans. Indeed, the hospital is deliberately killing Africans for body organs.

After my investigation, I published the book in Africa as ‘An African in Antwerp’ and some years later, I updated it and published it in America as ‘Little Boygium-Wonderful Experience.’ One of the directors of The City of Antwerp, called Els Bruyndonc was furious over the publication calling it stupid.

According to her, the husband is a journalist and wouldn’t publish such a stupid thing. I replied: Your husband is a journalist but not an African. Crimes committed against Africans in Antwerp are never seen in any Belgium newspapers.

Aftermath the publication, fear gripped Antwerp. They thought the African community would attack the hospital, so they quickly sent police to protect the place. They were there for over two weeks. During their presence, I disguised myself and visited the hospital thrice, to see if I can get ample information from the conversation of the workers and the police, the place was quiet.

The shocking part of the story is, even though they called my publication stupid, the high death rate suddenly fell, making Stuivenberg one of the safest hospitals for foreigners. However, there are few Africans today, as soon as you mention the hospital’s name, cold waves run through their spine. They keep away from Stuivenberg Hospital.

THE BIRTH AND LIFE OF JOEL SAVAGE

Joel Savage: Writer

Joel Savage was born in Cape Coast, the central region of Ghana, on January 19, 1957, to Justin Savage, a veteran journalist, and television producer, and Nancy Hudson (Savage) a professional seamstress. He had his secondary school education at Ebenezer Secondary School and Accra High School. In 1985, while working in Freetown, Sierra Leone, he became a naturalized citizen, therefore losing his nationality as a Ghanaian.

His father’s influence propelled his flair for writing at a very tender age. At school, he wrote numerous articles for publication. After school, he followed a course at the Ghana Institute of Journalism to acquire more experience and writing skills. As a freelance writer, he wrote feature articles for the Daily Graphic, Ghanaian Times and The Weekly Spectator for a certain period.

He became a naturalized Belgian citizen in 2008. He is now a prolific writer and accredited press card holding member of the Vlaamse Journalisten Vereniging-Flemish Journalists Association. With his wife and three sons living in Antwerp, Joel writes regularly online. He has published seven books and working on new projects.

Joel teamed up with his best friend Johan Van Dongen to write the English version of ‘Aids and Ebola, the greatest crime in medical history against mankind.’

In the midst of Aids, Ebola and Lassa fever, African children are always happy

By Joel Savage and Johan Van Dongen

Illiteracy is not having the ability to read and write. According to UNESCO, 774 million people aged 15 and older are illiterate. 52 percent live in South and West of Asia and 22 percent in sub-Saharan Africa. Even though literacy is very important and is a human right, illiteracy is one of the biggest problems in Africa today.

The impact of illiteracy in Africa is very heavy to the extent that Burkina Faso, South Sudan, Niger, Mali, Chad, Somalia, Ethiopia, Guinea, Nigeria and the Republic of Benin, are seriously affected. It is not surprised that some pastors are now claiming that Aids and Ebola are God’s curses, because of lack of reading. Some clans and tribes believe they have offended God, thus; deserve such punishment. Can you imagine how the impact of illiteracy can affect the way people think?

With such kind of thinking among the literacy and the continued dependence of African leaders on Europe and America, bringing those responsible of the medical crimes in Africa, (Belgium, Holland, Germany, France, America etc) to face justice, has been a dream of illusion to pursued. It is heart-wrenching that many years after independence swept through Africa, African leaders continue to bring their bowls on shores of Europe and America, begging for food and finance, while the continent has everything available to be used towards its development and creating jobs for the common people.

The inability to solve internal problems and financing of projects, have made African leaders a sort of puppets on strings, being pulled by Europe and America. As the proverb goes in Ghana, “If your hand is in someone’s mouth, don’t knock his head,’ African leaders can’t confront Europe and America over the crimes they have committed against the continent, because they still depend on them. That actually doesn’t make African leaders smart at all.

If Africans love to read, they will not continue to say that Aids and Ebola are curses from God, after many scientists , including Dutch Professor Johan Van Dongen have challenged Europe and America that Aids and Ebola were engineered as bio-weapons as a means to depopulate Africa.

If African leaders have totally disappointed Africans and continued to show their incompetence, the African population, including everyone who has lost his or her loved one to Aids and Ebola, must let Europe and America pay for their crimes. They should demand the justice they need. Yesterday were Aids and Lassa fever, today is Ebola, who knows what comes next?

History remains incomplete, because certain facts about Africa, have been swept under the carpet by Europeans, just to hide the truth and portray Africa as ignorant.

Is it true that apart from the looting of Africa’s rich mineral resources, including gold, diamond, Copper, Bauxite etc; the Europeans stole ideas from Africa to develop Europe, while they underdeveloped Africa?

In today’s (3/17/2016) Gazet Van Antwerpen, one of Belgium’s newspapers, was an article about Jef Merckx, introducing a Bamboo bicycle in Belgium. According to Merckx, Bamboo bicycle is lighter, faster and ecology, with the photo of him and the Bamboo Bicycle he has manufactured.

After reading the entire article, there wasn’t any indication anywhere in the article that Bamboo bicycle is long manufactured in Ghana, by a woman called Winifred Selby, who started her production at the age of 15. It is likely that Ghana is the first country in the world to manufacture Bamboo bicycle.

Like Always, Belgium has denied Ghana-Africa’s intelligence and knowledge and given the credit to someone who has stolen an idea from Africa, above all from a woman. What a shame?

There are many reasons journalism is said to lose its credibility. Gazet Van Antwerpen’s publication giving credit to Jef Merckx, as the manufacturer of Bamboo bicycle is one of them. Without investigation, they just published the stolen idea and knowledge from Africa. This is a mockery to the entire Belgian media. I told you so, and I will always tell you.

I DON’T EVEN WANT TO PUBLISH JEF MERCKX’s PICTURE ON MY BLOG, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T DESERVE IT.

Poor Africans have to sacrifice to get fake pastors riding in expensive cars.

When Jesus Christ foretold the major trends that would precede His return to earth, the first sign He mentioned was religious imposters who would come in His name. How serious do people take that warning?

Africa at the moment is experiencing a chain of mushroom pastors. Small churches are springing up everywhere, including classrooms, small sheds or someone’s veranda. Poverty and lack of education have forced a lot of people to become pastors in Africa, going after money and neglecting the duties of a true pastor.

To be a pastor one needs to study at a religious institution, learn the scriptures thoroughly, follow theological training and complete seminary courses. After studying, he is then ordained as a pastor, but in Africa, the story is different. Only few that have absolute confidence in faith take the challenge to go to school.

To many being a pastor is the easiest profession, after dropping out of school. You can often see them at public places and in buses, preaching to people and passengers. Well, I don’t think it’s wrong to preach, after all Jesus told his disciples “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” but the fact that many used God’s name to commit crime is very disturbing.

What kind of a pastor would tell a woman to be naked before prayers, to receive the Holy Spirit? What kind of pastor would tell his female congregation not put on pants, so that the air could circulate on every part of the body? What kind of a pastor tells a woman he could make her pregnant if her husband has failed? What kind of pastor would perform such deeds and call himself a genuine pastor?

“Stealing in the name of the Lord, my father’s house of worship has become a den of thieves, stealing in the name of the Lord. This reminds me of a song by Jamaican Reggae star, Max Romeo. The so-called pastors neglect the real duties of a pastor and continuously deceive people, often using this Biblical quotation: “Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.” Ecclesiastes 11.

Without knowing where they went for their powers, some African pastors practiced witchcraft, used marine spirits and magical powers to baffle people, allowing them to gain a number of followers. The poor people with diverse problems start following these fake pastors, giving them all their money and properties, while in misery and poverty.

They claim can cure impotency, make a childless woman fertile and cure diseases including Aids. The activities of false pastors in Kenya forced the country’s attorney general to ban new religious organizations from registering. The sharp increase of fake pastors is tearing African societies apart. Badly affected countries are Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa etc.

The problem in African countries is, there is no law which stops a man from practicing his faith, thus; the activities of fake pastors in Africa can’t be stopped since the leaders are just corrupt like the pastors. But we will continue to remind and warn them with the words of the great teacher.

Jesus said “For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” 2 Corinthians 11:13.

Like the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, distinguishing the flames of communism, colonialism and Apartheid also faded after the Europeans lost its grip on Africa, when demanding of political independence swept through Africa colony in the fifties.

Even though Africa is much underestimated, the continent’s rich mineral resources always attract both developing and developed countries. China is now actively engaged in Africa, but under heavy criticism, because the West and America see them as opportunists interested in Africa’s resources.

Nearly 600 years ago, the first Chinese reached Africa during the Ming dynasty, a period of cultural restoration and expansion, on the coast of Kenya. The next significant arrival was in the early 1900s, when about 60,000 Chinese miners worked on goldfields in South Africa. Later, Chairman Mao Zedong sent tens of thousands of agricultural and construction workers to Africa to enhance ties with countries emerging from colonialism.

Africa, taken as a continent of ignorance, attract Europeans and Asians, because many believe that without enough education, Africa is a place one can easily sets up a business and be a boss. Weak economy, influenced by rampant corruption, has allowed African leaders quickly welcoming Chinese business entrepreneurs to Africa. The Chinese have taken over the construction works in Africa, employing hundreds of Chinese and African nationals, becoming the most aggressive investor-nation in Africa.

Although China is playing a significant role in the construction and engineering sectors in Africa, not everything that glitters is gold. Chinese companies are cutting into Africa’s profits. Most African companies are losing jobs to the Chinese companies, because a lot of the African leaders have confidence in them and also they offer lower construction prices. Nevertheless; trade between China and Africa reached a new high last year, totaling US$198.5 billion. It is estimated that about 1 million Chinese people are engaged to different sectors in Africa.

The strong presence of Chinese in Africa, has sparked controversy, as America and Europe continue to accuse them of flooding the market with inferior or cheap quality products. Due to the rate of poverty, Africans rely on affordably products. It seems they have found solution and satisfaction in Chinese products. To build a good relationship with African leaders China continues to support and giving loan to Africa to enhance its developments.

In Ghana, crackdown on illegal miners exploiting the gold industry, led to the deportation of thousands of Chinese nationals from the country. The Immigration authorities say more than 4,500 Chinese nationals were repatriated after a series of swoops on illegal goldmines; souring the relationship between the governments of Ghana and China.

Many Ghanaians and local residents aren’t happy over the action of the Ghanaian government. “They were the ones that provided the mining equipment, most of the Ghanaians left behind can’t continue their operations,” said one of the local residents, but many Ghanaians concerned about health and environmental hazards, lauded the government’s efforts to curb illegal mining.

The question is: Why years after colonialism Africa still depend on foreign aid, despite economic growth in many parts of the continent significantly outpacing the global average?’ How is the money spent and how can Africa progress without foreign aid? What is the significance of independence when Africa is still crawling like a baby learning how to move around?

Science and technology provide the transformation of every developing and developed country, in this way, Africa have to build expertise in these areas for the economy to take off, but since corruption has affected every infrastructure, the continent has a long way to go and will always lack behind in development.

The slice of Ghanaian culture presented in Kente cloth by a pretty woman

The diversity of culture is very interesting and broad subject. I like to share interesting articles with readers eager to know about other people’s culture, custom and heritage. Africans used proverbs a lot in their daily conversation and admonition.

In 1985, my first time in Freetown, Sierra Leone, I entered into a restaurant and ordered for a plate of rice. On top of my rice was a strange greenish stew, which wasn’t good for me after tasting it. I asked the woman what it was and she told me it was prepared by cassava leaves.

She said I can try potato leaves stew, if I want. I said ‘No’ and I went away. Months after living in Freetown and knowing much about their culture and food, I found out how delicious cassava leaves stew was. From time to time, I requested for the food I once rejected, any I went to the restaurant. It’s interesting to know about someone’s culture and food.

“It’s just beautiful a woman holds her breast when running, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to fall off,” is one of Ghana’s intriguing proverbs.

The sight of a woman creates first impression. There are many things that put men off, especially when a woman’s hair isn’t well styled or when shabbily dressed.

In Africa it’s very common to see women running. I don’t think any one will find a woman attractive as her breasts flap on her chest as she runs.

Holding her breast while running, is one of the ways revealing how conscious a woman is over her body and truly men find it nice in that way too.
